It went together real easy. It took me about 4 hours. It did not come with instructions, but they were available online. So, no problem. The box was damaged along with some of the chicken wire and a really small ding on one of the tubes. I wasn’t sure how much netting there was. So, I started with the top where it would be covered by the tarp. For the price it is a decent chicken run. Unfortunately, I bought it the day before it went on sale and Wayfair wouldn’t “price match” their own price.
